[quote=Anonymous]This discussion has become unproductive because people are making points that are outside of the scope of the original argument. Let be explain again so that you can follow:

There are strong classic/select teams that provide a better environment for making it to the A/B team of a club than C/D teams at the same clubs and are cheaper and less intrusive (don't require the travel commitment).

If your mission is the line the pockets of Bethesda, McLean, Bryce or Loundoun by spending $3,000/year to play in CCLII, NCSL (Below Div II) or EDP Premier III and IV with the 3rd and 4th string coach while spending 3+ hours in a car to play against weak competition then feel free to do so. What I am saying is that there are classic /select coaches that are strong coaches that will work with your kid and that will play the C/D team in tournaments and beat them.

If you have been around, you will recognize that stars from strong classic/select teams make the B and sometimes A teams every Spring at the U12-U14 ages and beat out players from the C and D teams. Based on my experience, I concluded early on that there is not a need to rush to travel at U10 if your kid is not on the A team and even if they are ready, the rubber does not hit the road until U12 at the earliest. Why burn out yourself or your at such an early age just so that you can brag that your kid is playing travel soccer.
